Rolling Blunder

More nicknames have emerged for President Obama’s heartland bus tour: Rolling Blunder, Bus Force One, Running on Empty, America Under the Wheels, Hell on Wheels, Beast Bus. All courtesy of talk radio, the conservative blogosphere, fierce Republicans and — astonishingly enough — National Public Radio, which came up with the Beast Bus.

“The debt end bus tour … and a president who is really the campaigner-in-chief here of America. All he’s doing is campaigning,” says Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

I must say, I have to agree wholeheartedly with the huge bumper sticker on the red bus: “Ruling Class is the Enemy.”

Given the crowd he has thrown under it, I'm amazed the wheels of the bus touch the pavement. lol

[Mrs. Don-o]

Good idea. I don’t have the technical skills, but if I happen across some talented FReeper, I’ll pass on the idea.

Day Tripping One, Two, Three.

I don't care what you call the bus tour, I believe it has provided a midwestern stimulus in the sale of eggs, and created a market for rotten tomatoes.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus

One of the many, many problems the GOP has, a Chairman who from his name you would guess was the Vice-Minister for Student Grants in the French Cabinet.

“Ahem” pingy.......

This bus tour is really looking like a PR disaster. And well-earned. It’s shockingly dumb. Three years in and he’s out looking for ideas??? Wow.

At some point during this charade he will come out and say, "Hey, the bus doesn't use as much gas as Air Force One. I'm doing my part to solve climate change." Last year he would have flown.

He’s coming! He’s coming!!!

Bring more palm fronds to strew upon his way!!!

He didn't ride the bus from DC. AF1 is always involved with O’Flyboy.

[jennings2004]

No, no, dontcha’ know he has a “plan” which he is going to submit to Congress in Sept and if they don’t pass it then they take all the blame for the mess the Country is in...got it?

[Redleg Duke]

That is the best you can come up with?

Pathetic

[AFreeBird]

Bus Farce One, would be better than Bus Force One.

[MasterGunner01]

Obama to aide (as the bus pulls out from his Minnesota stop):

“Can you imagine that people actually LIVE here? There's no tall buildings, the public transportation isn't like Chicago's, everything so flat and featureless out here — no wonder it's called ‘flyover country’. This like being on the other side of the moon. Yuck.”

Obummer looks like he’s put on a little weight on his bus tour...or is he wearing a padded vest under his clothes in case some crazy is making plans to put him out of his misery? Which candidate ever before needed an “armored” bus, and a state of the art “armored” car (”the beast” which travels with him world wide)...just shows ya’ feelings are running high against the usurper. IMO, there will be no more styrofoam Greek pillars on his campaign trail...it’ll be bulletproof glass, body armor, and armed guards.
